I haven't watched all those videos yet. (at school right now)
I read an article a while back, someone that trained with Bruce Lee was doing an interview and said something about him not being as great as everyone says or believes. He became more of a legend based on hype and myths/rumors of what people say he has done. And this was coming from someone that knew Bruce personally, without the media blowing things out of proportion. He said something along the lines of Bruce being a great (martial art) actor and teacher, but not necessarily the "invincible" fighter as most would know him as.
I can't find the article anymore, but maybe someone else has stumbled upon it?
Anyway, I still think Bruce Lee's awesome. Can't wait to watch those videos when I get home.

Has anyone here visited his grave? It's in Seattle on a hill looking out towards mercer island.
I have the HD version and its a great piece for people like myself who are huge fans of him.

The dude was jealous that he couldn't:
1. Two finger pushups
2. One inch punch
3. Kill Chuck Norris.:D
One of the most underated BL scenes is this one, starting @ 2:05. The speed of the kicks is unbelievable. No camera tricks, no sped up anything.

Bruce lee was good but not the best. The old guy in enter the dragon that watches the matches in the movie beat him in a sparring match. And chuck Norris was the number one martial artist back then, while Bruce lee didn't have any titles. Although chuck Norris said Bruce lee could have been a great fighter if he competed.

Yeah but what he did right was brand and promote himself properly. He did so many things before anyone else, and was such a grounded person in terms of what he believed that he seemed super confident and powerful in anything he did. I'm sure there were many straight up fighters out there, not actor/fighter/philosophers, that could have matched or beaten him.
It's all about how you hold yourself and the behaviour you display.

I actually brought this conversation with a few local Hong Kong martial artists a few weeks back talking about Bruce Lee. My father and his friends (during their younger years... much younger) trained in Hong Kong under "Wong Shun Leung" -- Bruce Lee's "See Hing" (I don't know what that translation is in English, basically the person who trained with his master before Bruce Lee started learning).
While I don't know how true that interview you saw was, or even how truthful the personal experiences that people I have talked to are -- I do believe they are much more valid because the bunch of guys my dad keeps in contacts with are great people (a firefighter who lost his arm saving a family of five, and a policeman for thirty years has earned enough credibility in my books). But I'll share what I have heard from them...
For the most part, the media did in a sense blow Bruce Lee up as an "Invincible Fighter". There was a lot of hype around him because he was undoubtedly the pride at joy of Hong Kong, if not Asia. Because he wasn't just some phoney martial artists -- he actually had talent (how you measure talent in today's standards is totally personal preference but at the time the general populous's view was so). According to my family friends, Bruce Lee was indeed a prodigy during his time. Because yes, he probably won't be able to stack up to a lot of martial artists today. With the advent of the internet, it really is much easier to "improve" yourself than before. But back then, it wasn't so easy, so in a sense, he was "great"... during his time.
While some people may of contrasting views of Bruce Lee, the general consensus with the people I talked to was that everyone viewed him as a very down to earth person regardless of how famous he became. I heard stories of when he came back to Hong Kong, he would always find my dad's master and was overall very respectful and nice to everyone. And that aspect of being so down-to-earth is what a lot of people still admire. I don't think you can find a lot of people on the streets in Hong Kong that doesn't admire or respect Bruce Lee. This doesn't seem like a lot or anything special, but in Hong Kong it means a lot, because every other person here bitches and criticizes about everything and everyone.

It's not only the physical abilities of Bruce that made him so legendary.... the 'idea' and the 'role model' he played was what made him so popular..
His 'stigma' is totally unmatched.

Ip Man + Ironman's suit = invincible
Bruce Lee is definitely an inspirational role model. He wasn't just a physically fit actor and martial artist, but an intelligent individual who used the philosophies he had studied to improve his understanding of martial art and life.
